- Amazon recently did the unthinkable. It invited us - what with our unblinking cameras and endless questions - for a peek inside its newest logistical lair in Lakeland, Florida.

I read it when it said it
Probably because the abundance of robots
Plot twist: Amazon was created by reptillians
@@laurelalloro i believe that twist
And now let's ask a hard working employee...
alex savich++you can't.ask a hard working employee. their dead with a waiting hearse outside when they drop. get'em out the door quick before they shit and piss themselves as dead people do. run their corpse thru a security scanner to make sure they didn't steal anything when they fell out.
david wells ohhhh gawd xDDDDDD
@@roadmaster720 what
Been working at an Amazon Warehouse for 4 years now.... It is literally easy as hell. My building doesn't have the robots either, so we do everything. It's just lazy people who don't realize that they are signing up for a job you have to walk for miles a day, not some grocery store..
The hard-working employees are the robots
With a building that massive, they could had at least include a Subway or a McDonalds in there so workers don't have to exit the facility to get lunch. Walmart was smaller and it manage to have both.

this comment is underrated sksksksksks
That’s why bring you own “Lunch”, DUH!
You order lunch from Amazon and wait for it to reach the cafeteria.
Well they own Whole Foods right ?... the cafeteria should have a small buffet of good health food and fruit instead of junk.
Voan Siam I don’t think those horrible restaurants are going to make anything better for ASSOCIATES

LMAOOO that's why I'm here!!! That's scary when someone else in the same situation
afrasiabi96 😛😂
only at Amazon do you get 10 minute breaks with 5 minute walks 😂
Andrew Gems
Depends on how close you are to the break room. People positioned at the far end are fucked over in that regard.
Lmaoo thats sad
frank zammetti++oh,well. shit happens now don't it.
jason x ++yes,state laws vary on breaks. in some, zero break time required.
The warehouse itself is impressive... Now if they treat their employees like people instead of slaves in a sweat shop....🤔
Don't worry once everything is completely automated there won't be a need for the employees
15$ an hour is more than you need to live comfortably, it's not slavery
@@ronhernandez8857 how about working conditions
Fair hours
Low injury rate
Access to healthcare
Vacation days.
Money doesnt but buy happiness
Just quit and find another job that pays more and where you don’t feel like a slave.
@@willeliagujetti8410 that th dumbest advice I heard
"Speed isn't everything" Lies. I got kicked off of my station and put on a harder one because I wasn't fast enough MULTIPLE times.
Yeah! And they put me in your place because I'm faster ! That makes me mad ! I try to pack everything from the shelves fast, and then , to have a 2 min brake to make sure I'm still breathing, and the manager comes to me : "hey can you go on wall bla bla bla station bla bla bla? " makes me crazy !!!!!!!!!!
@@amaliadiaconu3724 enjoy making Jeff Bozo wealthier, while you collect chump change. One thing i learned from working at amazon for a little over two years was to just do the bare minimum. You are nothing but a number to them, no matter what your accomplishments are they will fire you without hesitation once you step out of line. That's why i took the offer, cause there is no way I'd ever work for such a horrible company ever again. Believe me though i was the fastest packer in AFE, i could hit 400s easy
@@AndyBuudy really? Tell me more, please. I'm working here since december , now I'm pregnant 7 months , and I'm struggling every day to make over 250. I really want to upgrade here because for me in America there is no possibility to upgrade. I'm from Romania . So , you can easily hit 400' and you still packing ?
@@AndyBuudy I don't know what to do to impress them and to make them happy with the work I do. Even if I'm 7 months pregnant, even if COVID-19 it's everywhere, I'm still going to work.
@@amaliadiaconu3724 They don't care about the numbers you hit as long as you make the rate, they like people that can talk. As long as you can be friends with the PA's or managers you'll have an easier time moving up. I wouldn't recommend moving up within this company cause the higher up you go the more you get yelled down upon by higher-ups, i hear it's stressful. They're always trying to impress their leader so they're constantly raising the rate. I quit, i took this thing called "the offer," they pay you to quit, but you cannot work for them ever again. But you shouldn't push yourself if you're 7 months pregnant, just put up the bare minimum.
They say 59 football fields, but i only counted 24...
Tremor244 a want to apples in AmazonThe in Google
U
They are normally 2 - 4 floors
War Zone 😂😂😂😂
@War Zone the break room
They seem to have accidentally revealed a secret underground government facility
Essentially corporate propoganda
I wouldn't call it all propaganda. Amazon will let you come visit their facilities and see it for yourself. Yes, the employees are busy at work the whole time but at the same time there is nothing nefarious taking place and there is nothing illegal about having to do hard , fast-paced labor. A perspective employee surely must know what they are in for before they sign up. They can readily see for themselves that it's going to be intensive fast-paced non-stop work. If that's not your game, then look elsewhere. And the woman in this video is correct, a machine will tell you what to do and how fast to do it. You're spared the burden of having to think. And if you aren't stepping and fetching fast enough, a red light will come on and a countdown timer will appear on your computer screen letting you know to pick up the pace. The point I'm trying to make is that you can see all of this on a tour, go see for yourself.
Then you went to Amazon app and bought some stuff 😐

Hhhh.... We as a warehouse associate can understand the speedy work
I live in chattanooga just a few miles down the road from an Amazon warehouse.All i have heard for years is how absolutely horrible it is to work there.
+Bryan Manning I live in Chattanooga too. Its a bunch of dumb uneducated people who work there for a living (no offense). It will dumb you down being there for a while. I worked there for 3 months while in school.
christal padilla Thats nice
It's the same at every site, around the world. People report report exactly the same everywhere. So, it's not some coincidence at one site, it's a system.
Bryan Manning one of my friends told me about the Amazon warehouse in Chattanooga.
Mike Taylor: Like you? You don't even know enough to know your correct verb tenses or capitalization. Or, perhaps you are writing in Ebonics?
speed isn't everything? my friend has gotten written up for not being fast enough
I got written up to lol for even going to the restroom
@@xfsuxlegend I heard that employees had to pee wherever. Your story checks
My brother friend got fire for being slow. He is a hard working person work two job and going school. the second job was helping his parent out in store so it family business. Which he only get pay 100 or not 😭. He didn’t have enough sleep but try his best because he need money.
I got written up twice for getting a drink once
speed can be important while also not being everything
“59 football fields” shows 24.
Americans will measure with anything but metric. I just watched a video on starlink and they used pizza size to measure the satellite for your roof.
I worked at Amazon warehouse. It was pretty okay but the management provided poor guidance.
its soo many people to especially around holiday time to even try to keep up with who is who, and yea it was ok but going through aisles picking through stuff can get to you after awhile and yea i hated the timer, you have to really put a pep in your step to get to the next item
Jay Y thanks bro I'm cancelling my part time bid.
+Eye Of The Lion believe it or not some people enjoy it... more so people who r retired and want something to do or people who like to walk or exercise... it will get to you after awhile though and I've worked some tough warehousing jobs... glad I could help you out
You think the management situation is a coincidence? It's part of the system of Amazon.
Management at my FC keep their heads in their laptop.
Cover up on how bad they treat they're workers.
You interviewed someone that gets paid well as a Warehouse trainer. But you need to interview the associates who get paid poorly for back breaking work with no bathroom breaks.
Exactly. And the person they interviewed gets paid more than the national average, of course she’s going to think it’s a good job
Stop and Shop Distribution Center is very similar
Warehouse trainer? She looks too well dressed to be just a Warehouse person. I'd say she's corporate office staff as the way she is dressed, rings etc would be against health and safety in any workplace
You're right. I use to work at a fulfillment center, and unless you worked in the office side of the warehouse, there was no jewelry permitted inside. They don't allow it because they sell jewelry, and any one can steal it and claim they came in with it. Also, her clothing. Most people don't wear jeans at a job that requires you to stand and walk for 10 hours each shift
Joseph Duenas if you worked at a fulfillment the. You know of "learning" they are always dressed nice because they don't do the labor that the normal associates do, so they aren't concerned with comfort.
She's with corporate they probably told her to dress like a warehouse worker when the news crew show up because if she was wearing a nice suit then the news crew would think something was up. Reporters should pick up on that.
She’d be admin for sure. Our admin people are the ones who do all the media stuff, they just chuck a hi vis shirt or vest on over their clothes when they walk through the warehouse because it compulsory for anyone who enters the warehouse part from the offices. That’s why their vests or shirts are so clean. I bought new hi-via shirts recently and within half an hour they go from bright to covered in dirt and dust. There’s no way anyone who has a clean one on has actually done any work
Of course, they will schedule you at the most automated facility and ensure it’s at a time when they place the employees they want interviewed. Complaints come from the facilities they wouldn’t choose to allow your entry.
"You name it, we have it!" So where's my NES Classic Edition?
desperately looking for a DMT package " Joe Rogan Edition". I named it so where the fk is it?
They forgot to ask the associate's that are peeing in bottles how they really feel about Amazon
No one is peeing in bottles that’s gross
Trippydollface a girl peed herself at the Amazon I work for because she didn’t want to drop her rate, couldn’t do anything but feel bad for her
You Tube omg I hope she’s okay. It’s just crazy to me that some people’s working experience is extremely different from the amazon warehouse I work at
Trippydollface yeah same at my location they are pretty lenient with rates . They let us go to the restroom whenever we want we just cant have TOT of 2 hours thats it .
@@user-ju8se7hr4k why she didnt go to the WC?

That's how you were lured in huh?
That's because u make it awful
@Makaveli hope you got the job
fuck Amazon, I used to work in the Amazon warehouse as a picker, Slammer and dock. walk 10-12 hours a day feet kills like a bitch. It's the most depressing job ever all u hear all day is BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP and running karts and boxes dropping on karts it gets really repetitive. I recommend this entry level job who wants to be a human slave.
LOL i can literally hear the beep now...thanks for the reminder, how long did you do it for, i only stayed two weeks before i knew that wasnt nothing close for a career for me
Jay Y 6 months I couldn't stand picking dildos
LOL, luckily i never got a order to pick them myself but i saw quite a few scattered out and yea 6 months i bet you lost weight and your mind
Now you know why most of the tasks are done by automation.
Andrew Delarosa cough cough apple islave cough cough
We need 2020/Dateline to put a few hidden cameras throughout the building. I bet all the criticism would be valid. JB should be ashamed of how his employees are treated.
same girl from amazons own fulfillment video. hmmm. funny business
“It’s an awesome place to work” hahahahahahah. Interview the people actually doing the work lol
All that technology and you still manually HAND WRAP your pallets??
LMFAO!!!
Ok, so the pkgs are wrapped til they get where? Who sorts them once they aren unwrapped?
James Rice dIhhyep
James Rice I've never in my life have seen machines that wrap pallets.
They have been around for like 20 years if not longer you set the pallet up on it attach the wrap to the pallet then it spins the pallet thus wrapping it.
Make Rome Great Again I worked in a warehouse and there are several machine that wrap pallets. Besides I’m a trained OSHA forklift driver.
"the exact number is confidential" And then when you go into the warehouse you see massive screens telling you the current targets for the day across the whole warehouse
Amazon knows they have the upper hand in every situation people will still buy from them no matter how horrible they treat there workers . People don't care it's all about there needs.
i work at amazon in indiana. i love it. its only terrible for people who are lazy and dont want to do anything but talk all day. its the easiest job ive ever had.
amber decker-dabney True give it your best and you will be fine at Amazon
How much were you paid ?
Marcos Fernandez 14 hour for the night shift Icqa department
Alejandro Sanchez And the people working at Amazon can do a living out of there job ?
amber decker-dabney haha. I rather get paid by being lazy and talk all day >>sales
Speed is literally everything at amazon this video is a huge lie I wish people knew how amazon really operated from a regular associate stand point
Exactly! One of our manager wanted to do 3 trucks all by 3 o clock . All. Weighted blankets containing 2 each inside . And then wrap pallets after with those on top.
I can believe that. I just took delivery of a 800$ tablet that looked like it had been drop kicked. Shattered screen, right out of the box.
Hell of an "interview"! LOL
0:35 "Equal to 59 football fields"
*shows 24
That's because they have 2 to 5 mezzanine floors, in sections of the building
speed isn't everything?? say that to an actual amazon employee and they'll look at you crazy and i know because im one of them 😭lol
For reals in packing they expect 100 per hour lol
Peter Sandoval i swear there's nothing like going home and relaxing afterwards tho lol
@@Peetoe1952 thats it? Try 285 lol
I used to work there, didn't like it.
At the FC I work at, they expect you to pick 350 an hour. Its really not that hard for the first 8-9 hours, it's those last 3-4 hours of your shift that really kick your ass.
It's hard on the body for the pickers for sure. I was sore all week my first week. My feet bled and my back went out but because I wasn't there for 23 days I didn't get work comp or medical help. Now that it's been over 3 months I still haven't gotten anything. Everything seems to be run outside the warehouse and online or over a phone call. Feels like skynet a little bit. My paychecks were under 200 bucks a week. Not very much but it paid for gas. The pay is 11.75 for seasonal and you get 50 cents more every 6 months. While working youre basically standing or doing squats for the full 10 hour shift minus 30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks. My take is it's definitely slave work but they hire anyone who isn't on drugs or have a criminal record so stay in school and only work here if you're out of options
What's the receiving department like? Are there any easy trucks?
I worked there for 2 months while in between jobs. Contract ended at my previous job, was a tech company, and I had to keep bringing money in, so off to Amazon. Took a huge pay cut, the hours were longer, and the work was insane. The thing I hated the most were the managers and the horrible work environment Amazon has. thankfully I was able to get another job at a different tech company with a much bigger pay and no back breaking work, and it actually uses my degree. It's also full time, so I don't need to worry about a contract ending. Thankfully the experience I had from my previous tech job helped me land my current one, along with internships I took in college. I strongly advise people to stay in school, I know its a pain, but that degree will be worth it. Unless you majored in something useless, like lesbian dance theory.
Picking is so easy! Grab the bag full of packages or sometimes it’s only one and then put in a cart that has 3 shelves and you’re done. EASY!
My older cousin makes 17$ a hour here
@@chrgav1286 try doing that for 3 years standing up for 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, 90 degrees farenheit in the factory with an extremely loud industrial fan blowing hot air at you, only 5 minute lunch and dinner break because break time is only 30 minutes and it takes 10 minutes to punch in and punch out walking to the break room, and extremely loud environment to where you need sound filtering headphones and skin tight caps that will create deep wrinkles on your forehead, then come back to me and tell me what its like.
They interviewed the perosn that Amazon "let them" hahahaha great "journalism."
My work recently had a news crew in and the staff they chose to speak on camera were told what to say and they only picked people they knew would go along with saying what they were told. Nobody who’d say how it really is was asked
Its like going to an open house, of course they are gonna be on their best behavior when you are talking to PR people and everyone has been primed beforehand to know that there will be reporters on site.
That’s one chill warehouse. Toronto, Brampton warehouse is crazy asf, no time to rest
Where's the interviews from the stowers, pickers, counters, and all the other human beings that fulfill all those orders. Damn those robots they don't do most of the work, and I have seen them crash and run over things. I don't know what people expect from an entry level job but $11/hr FT with no experience is good. Yes the walking, climbing stairs, short breaks (30 min lunches for a 10 hr day in ridiculous), bending, mandatory overtime, back breaking labor sucks BUT the benefits are wonderful and affordable. OT is voluntary if you need extra money. Its hot but pretty clean for a warehouse....well at least mine. Its not all bad but yes theres alot of BS to put up with. Especially with favoritism and uppity managers. Once I'm finished with school (that amazon is paying 95% of upfront) I'M OUT!
FYI $11. dollars an hour is horrible pay when Jeff Bezos has a net worth of $160 billion. Slave mentality if you think $11. an hour is good. Jeff makes about $107 million per day.
As an employee Who is cross trained at amazon (stow, divert, unload, recieve) I love coming into work and seeing what position I get put in. My 10 hour shifts are voluntary I can choose to take VTO and if I want more over time I can ask. There is a lot of favoritism in warehouses towards the ones who have been there longer but once you been there for some time and get to know people you start to love coming in. My schedule may be a little different with working only 4 days and my breaks are 20minutes with 30minutes lunch could be because of the virus
Thank you, Amazon employees for all that you do. I don't work there, but I do love buying stuff online from Amazon.
who else here after John Olivers part about it
Ask the guy who's been working mandatory overtime for the past 2 months how he feels about the place, I guarantee you he'll have a different answer.
Isn't just Amazon that does this. I've worked in a smaller and local (250 employees) manufacturing warehouse place for 4 years, 2014-2018... '17 and '18 were constant OT there.
Five 10hr days and an 8hr Sat... 58hrs
Five 10s and 8 Sat... 58 hrs
Five 10 Sat off... 50 hrs
Repeat for TWO YEARS.
Not enough work to justify the OT. There are some very odd places out there.
editor: How many wide angle shots do you want?
producer: yes
TY to all the Amazon employees who are working during the Pandemic of 2020.
I used to work a 4 day 10 hour work week. Once you try it, it is a GREAT WORK WEEK. Gives you an extra day during the week for anything you need to do - Dr. visits etc. - or every weekend a three day weekend. Plus if scheduled correctly, it can get you around rush hour traffic.
amazon has the best schedule for a regular job without a degree people hate on it so much but its very flexible
Yet, they can’t pay their employees fair wages like $25 and hour. All the employees saying they love it are lying and afraid to lose their job!
Show the part where everyone was walking over the dead employee that collapsed LMAO. I'll bet they swept her aside with a push broom.
My cousin works there and says it’s hell. You have to rat out employees to get better pay like if someone takes a bathroom break you have to rat them out to get better pay. Also, you get a 30 minute lunch but the break room is at the other side of the warehouse so in total you only get 5 minutes to eat
Huh? It takes 20 to 25 mins to walk to n use the bathroom??? Lol i can walk along way in 20 mins. For some reason i just dont believe that BOL LOL...anyway idk were you ppl live but i live in fl and amazon has the coolest and easiest hiring system you basically get hired on line and show up to your interview/ drug test and once your test comes back your hired and the way they hire the supervisor or manager doesn't make the decision on if they like you based on your skills or not and totally does away with disqualification based on your look or nationality or gender because its basically computerized hiring process and as long as you fit the qualifications and standards and pass the drug test your in.....hay amazon just went up to $15 an hour for there company starting minimum wage and if your already making $15 or more no sweat you will still get a raise also and thats company wide...so idk what you ppl are talking about but sshhh i love working in an a/c warehouse for the money there paying and robots do mojority of the heavy bulk items
frank bg yeah idk what they’re bitching about. I work at a flex warehouse and easier than fulfillment. Also with the lunch break, it’s 30mins after you clocked out. So i don’t get why this other person is saying you only get 5 mins, LOL! Rat them out for a bathroom break!? WTF is that. It’s a bathroom break because you either need to pee or #2.
why u shouldn't go to bathroom wtf!!
I chuckled for a second when the computer knows exactly what size box a order needs I’ve ordered a couple individual dvds and they’ve come in a package twice the DVD’s size
they should supply segways for the workers
No, American people have to stop being lazy and fat!
HELL NO DO YOU REALIZE HOW MANY INJURIES AND WORKMANS COMP CLAIMS WOULD BE BROUGHT
Excuse me you fucking socialist commi. My job as micro fluid engineer should definitely be paid more than some lackey high school drop out flipping burgers.
Standardizing pay means nobody would have motivation or incentives to work hard for society. Why I would waste my time and brain power at university when my monetary reward at work is the same as anybody with no education. Ridiculous.
ACE PA- TRI-CIA Hine's-sight So using your failed liberal logic, we should have burger flippers making the same amount of money as say a cardiac surgeon? You are a special kind of a special kind of a special kind of stupid.
ACE PA- TRI-CIA Hine's-sight No I won't rethink. Get off your ass and do something with your life and stop waiting for the government to take care of you.
“Great associates” why not call em employees....oh right cuz you don’t wanna take responsibility of their injuries
Amazon is sweat shop...i would never work there again.
Or maybe you’re just lazy and want money for doing nothing
@@alexmackinson Have you even worked there
Wicked Grin yes actually I have and currently still do. Yeah it’s tough but not as bad as people say. I’ve worked at WAY worse
@@alexmackinson That doesn't mean what he said is invalid. It's not like all warehouses have the same management

0:59 "With a footprint of 59 football fields..."
While they show only 24 football fields covering the building?
Maybe its including the extra gaps and parking lots but I found that funny.
most amazon warehouses have 2-3 floors.
They don’t have everything, I was looking for one light grey LEGO piece didn’t find it .
I was looking for a nuclear warhead but they didn't have them in light green. Worthless place!
I work at an air port where i move boxes. We get alot of amazon boxes and i usually order stuff on amazon, but the slick is different then from what i get. The slick is what has your address, area code, tracking number ect. Its kinda cool actually

Tough job. Mad respect for anyone Amazonian who works at a fulfillment center. It is far from easy if you are a picker like me. 7 second tact time is insane, and I managed a record 5.94 just once and I was extremely lucky because of the quantity picks I had from the pods that came. I'm between 7-9 otherwise, and that is if the dang stations aren't breaking down.
Great pay, tough hours, lots of ways to build yourself up and most management will work with you and listen.
Oh, the place is 1/3 of a mile in diameter. That is not a lie. It is freaking huge. 1 million square feet, 10 football fields, etc. And it is 4 working stories, with the fifth being engineering, blah blah.
7 seconds IS insane...
@@Cod4Wii tell me about it. 90 something perfect of the workforce can't do it and management still tries to shove it down our/your throats! 7 seconds is if you want your body to break...
I make 15.50
Thats why there is massive turnover, most can’t make it.
Depend on the state you're in, 17.50 an hour is not much in CA
Speaking as someone who works in a fulfilment centre in the UK. I am new to the role and love my job.
I am part of a massive team of pickers who ensure you receive your orders damage free
I just ordered a couple of bluray movies and now I’m here
I used to work in a small warehouse. I heard that working for amazon sucks. But that was from somebody who never worked there. But nonetheless, warehouses are like small cities. It's quite interesting actually.
Whoa.... Creepy stuff, While I was watching this got an email that my "Amazon order has shipped" NO B.S !!
I got a job at an Amazon factory through the Flog-em Squeeze-em & Bin-em recruitment agency. The work is very hard but the pay is low so there is balance there if you're seeking a challenge with static career prospects.
“You name it, we have it.” Y’all got weed? 🤔
Who else agrees that they should have a customer pick up section where u place your order and they send u a notification when it's ready, then u go there pick it up and be on your merry way
10% of the people they interview are mangers, Problem Solvers, or QA who don’t do anything 😅😅😅
Or PA’S. all they do is walk around with their little laptop and tell their workers to hurry up.
Off course it’s true
0:31- That amazon box symbol HONESTLY LOOKS LIKE A FREEMASON SYMBOL. I would not be shocked if that was intentional.
Harsh conditions?? I freeze in the winter and burn in the summer at FedEx. We get 15 new hires and 70% of them quit. Even my hiring group of 13 only 3 of us are left after a year
Nobody talks about the Amazon *Sortation* centers. The picking/packing ones (as shown in this vid) are the true bad places to work .The sortation warehouses are a lot more easy.
I worked at amazon it feels like being in prison its hard to get in hard to get out.. Its horrible dont do it!!!
I worked as a customer service representative for amazon before and my experience was just amazing👍🏻👍🏻
1:47 Did I just see 2 employees in a row with massive dark bags under their eyes?
Yikes
Thank you, Amazon thank you so so so very much I'm so grateful and thankful this is a blessing thank you and have blessed day and happy holidays to you all at amazon Amen.
Work is becoming a scary thing. With technology they are literally turning humans into robots. Getting the maximum output. The ones that break down will simply be replaced. I worked at a company, all the work got done, everything was great. They installed cameras everywhere and started monitoring from corporate office. Everyday it was you weren’t here you went to there not enough time here. The place quickly turned into a prison. Friends started to turn on each other, lots of problems started to happen. Production? Well, that dipped a lot as well. This built up over a year until the contract was lost. That was never even in doubt before. I work for myself now and hopefully will never have to go back. I’m seeing this now with UBER. You have to work longer and longer for less and less and only the crazies will remain.
I been a Amazon customer since 2013 and love every minute of it. This is the BEST place to shop online.
I love how they say 'warehouse the size of 59 football fields..." and then overlay images of 24 football fields...
“The store has a square space of 59 football fields”

I just got hired by amazon and cant wait to start my first day.
same went in for the office hours today... kinda worried now after reading all the reviews but honestly I've worked for some terrible company's before that were prob waaaaay worse than amazon. will see though.
Daveco321 right i was feeling like that at first but them I thought well I shouldn’t feel like that because we shouldn’t let someone else’s experience ot issues be the reason why we don’t take the job.
Who else ordered a package and got too curious of how it gets delivered?
"Great place work" Haha yet they yell at you for using the restroom for 5 minutes LMAO!
Eh, I work at Amazon, and my job is pretty good for a warehouse job, other warehouse jobs I've had sucked way more and paid way less. There's a lot they do right. However, I don't work at one of these huge (and probably hellish) "fulfillment centers," I work at a smaller warehouse that's like the next step in the supply chain. Basically, truckloads of boxes pull up and we sort them into delivery vans. I think if they let people listen to music the job would be a lot better.
Currently working at a Sortation center as a scanner and it’s alright but I’ve heard people say that working at these big warehouses is hell. Our warehouse isn’t nearly as big as this one
This job was hell for me when I worked here in Tennessee!!!!
Just started n love it.... best job for people with social anxiety and just panic attacks in general. I could never do customer service or retail again!
nessie lewis real glad you've enjoyed being there! got a job there this week in the warehouse, praying it all works well!!
let us know when you quit or get fired
jayjohnsonlive I’m actually getting my blue badge now so they want me as a permanent employee. No mistakes made on my end and I still love working here
nessie lewis that's real awesome!! congrats to you, 😀👌👍👏🤓 I got my job in the warehouse, using the forklift etc. do you work there too?
nessie lewis my start date changed, there was another position that opened that worked better with my schedule. it's sun.-wed 6:30pm-5am. my daughter goes to school by 7:40am, this schedule works much better! the start date is set for 8/25, also, watch empire on Thursday's on tv-one can't miss it. :) definitely let you know how it goes!
Anybody watching cuz they start in a few hours like me?
What you thinking so far? Have you started yet?
What’s it like?
Dont work there
why
For some reason they hire temps with zero experience and put them in charge of employees that have worked there for years. 😵 I constantly have to tell them to stay out of trucks while doing TDR.
It is a pity no information how they treat people😔
the place looks happy
Who else saw South Park's episode about Amazon last night?
“You name it we have it” Ok, can I have a Google Home Mini??? Thank you. Ohh wait you don’t have it.
Amazing process ... Now I’ll think of this every time I click “place order” 😂
Also think in the workers getting injuries, yelled at for going to the bathroom, getting written up, penalized multiple times, etc......
I don't buy it. I heard from many workers/people affiliated with Amazon that its awful to work at the warehouses ,its good on paper but not behind the scenes.
All depends on the person. Warehouse jobs in general aren't for everyone.
Here for Prime Day 2019
That's pretty cool, thank you Fox13 for posting this. And it's 2020
I wish all they said was true :D Amazon is not for human more like animals :D
?
Or for robots... I only worked for 2 weeks.
Or for robots only
Who else noticed that when they’re showing 59 football fields on top of the building there are actually only 24 😂
I always wondered who or what is behind the smiles on the boxes
That Bezos guy - he's always happy, living on the back of his not so happy workers.
And hope they never have a power cut for whatever reason.
